I do remember our Christmas programs when I was in the chorus in high school. The director always wanted us to sing a cappela, but we didn't usually pull it off so well. When we did, you could have knocked us over with a feather, and the audience would always chuckle at the looks of sheer joy on our faces when we realized we'd actually ended on the right notes!
Yep, mostly on and off of my lap. But, considering the fact that ~we~ got bored he actually did fairly well.
Morning!
I think it is Friday. Or something. For me, anyway. All I have to do today is pack and finish getting ready to leave town.
I saw a squirrel out in the backyard and decided to chase it...just for something to do, you know? So I took off full grunt after that squirrel, caught my foot on the edge of the garden bed and fell face forward going full speed. Knocked a bump on my head where I hit the opposite edge of the garden bed (plastic edging) and thought I'd broke my left arm.
I got up and my left arm didn't seem to want to work. Covered with garden dirt. Joshua heard me yell and he and Matthew ran out in the PJs to see if I was ok!
I took a hot soak. Just got out. I have a red mark on my upper left arm, the arm feels "weak" but doesn't hurt (pulled muscle?) and my neck feels stiff. Gotta big lump on my head.
Heh! The squirrel seems to have made a clean getaway.
LOL! - glad nothing's too broken. Maybe now you'll act yer age!
Ha ha! I know!
I think the arm is "frogged"...you know what that means? When someone punches you in the arm and you can't move your arm for time? That's what it feels like.
I'm not familiar with the term, but I think I'm familiar with the sensation...
You're the nurse... look for swelling and things that ain't right about it.
Yep.
I'm going to take a couple of advils and lay down.
Heh...my spirit is shackled by my body!
It's the sad reality we all come to accept... we ain't 7 no more... and we can't go flyin' off the porch like we used to, without risk of embarrassment and injury. :~D
Heh... I read that and said, "Classic 2J!". Glad you're ok though!
I think you need a dog.
What would you have done if you had caught the squirrel?
*Sigh*
Ya need at least a BB gun. Leave the chasing to the dogs!
She'll shoot her eye out!
Nope! She has safety glasses. 8)
I'm off to the vets at 10
Oh - and talked to the bank... they said all will be well in five days.
Heh...When I was in the teens, we used to play tag with the neighbor boys (3 yrs older and they were popular in school) off the roof to our house. Run up the antenna ladder, across the roof and jump off the porch side which was a little closer to the ground...probably 7-8 feet off the deck. :-) My mom woulda killed me. I don't see how children live to be adults.
Mrsnad
Guardian Angels. It's the only reasonable explanation.
~shakes head slowly~
Feel like givin' mine a call? ;-)
In other news, I got the wrong fortune cookie at lunch...
You and your wife will be happy in your life together.
Office mate pointed out that it said "happy" not "healthy."
